  McWally’s did an amazing job hosting my son’s 10th birthday party! From the moment we arrived, everything was seamless and stress-free. The party room was already beautifully decorated, which immediately set the tone for a fun and exciting celebration. Our server, Miss Bry, was absolutely phenomenal. She went above and beyond to make sure all of our accommodations were met, the kids were comfortable, and everything ran smoothly. She guided us through the entire process with such care and professionalism. From the event coordinator to the manager to every server, the entire team worked together to make the day truly special. The kids had an absolute blast, and as a parent, I appreciated how hassle-free the entire experience was. Every detail was handled, and every part of it was worth it. I would 100% do this again and highly recommend McWally’s for birthday parties or any special event. Thank you for making my son’s day unforgettable! 🎉🎳

  ​Rating: ⭐⭐⭐ ​I visited McWally’s for the first time on a Saturday around 5 PM with my brother and 9-year-old niece. Overall, my niece had a blast, which is why I’m giving 3 stars; if it were just based on my experience, it would be a 2. ​The Pros: The facility is brand new, very clean, and well-decorated with plenty of TVs. Parking was easy, and despite it being a Saturday, it didn’t feel overcrowded. The arcade has a great mix of video and skill-based games, and almost everything was in working order. ​The Cons: The biggest issue is the beverage/service flow. There is no dedicated snack bar or soda station. To get a water or soda, you have to go to the bar. Because the bar doesn't have its own soda dispensers, the bartenders (who were already busy) have to walk across the restaurant to the kitchen to fill a cup. It took 15 minutes just to get a refill. ​The laser tag was fun, but the check-in process was clunky—we had to do online waivers that no one actually checked, and they started the game with only 5 people, which felt a bit empty. Also, the prize store was disappointing; about half the shelves were empty, leaving very few options for the kids to trade in their tickets. Lastly, note that the bowling uses "string pins" (pins on ropes), which might bother traditional bowlers. ​Highlight: Layla, the hostess, was the absolute saving grace. She was incredibly polite and actually went to get our drinks herself when she saw us waiting forever at the bar. She is a massive asset to this establishment!

  We have been there a few times now trying it out before we bring our younger ish kids. Bowling was fun, but the wait is long. Staff was super nice. Takes a while to get a beer at the bar (even left one time after waiting over 15 minutes to get anything). Arcade is good enough but the prizes have never been well stocked. The outdoor area is beautiful! Overall… it Wont deter us from coming back and giving it another try again, but hoping for more in the next time for two. Not much else to do in fuquay with everything else we used to have as our “go-to” closing.

  Heartbroken! F-V so needs a venue/venues like this. Based on my experience, this place isn’t going to last. Monday evening visit - 2-Hour wait for bowling-we can make that work. Asked for a table, 15 minute wait was about 25-no biggie, played a few games, 25 went by quickly enough. Got the text for the table at 7:10…. Restaurant about 60-70% full. Drinks ordered and delivered, entrees ordered and that was “it”. At 8:20 we got up and walked out-there was no visit back to the table by the waitstaff, no refills, no food, no apologies, no nothing. For 70 minutes we sat ignored. Please, please McWallys figure it out. F-V needs you, but like this-and based on the other reviews, you will not make it. Will give it another try another time, but unless it’s better, there will not be a third.

  I took my daughter and her friend there yesterday to celebrate my daughter’s 11th Birthday. I think that it is important that when you enter a restaurant or any location that the first people you have contact with sets the tone for your experience. So the first people that we had contact with worked in the center of the venue where you purchase your gaming cards. They were very knowledgeable and really made us feel good coming in the door. Santa Claus was there with two ladies doing balloon animals and face painting. They were very welcoming and engaged with my daughter as we waited for her friend to arrive. Once her friend arrived, the girls immediately started playing games and having fun. I noticed immediately that other customers were just very warm and friendly. It was like everyone's was there to have a good time and it really showed. I am a very protective father so as the girls are playing games, I’m always looking around just to make sure that they are safe and I immediately noticed a gentleman that never made eye contact with me or said a word, but I quickly figured out that he was a part of the security team there. This gentleman was about 5’5” or 5’6” and I never saw him standing around goofing off. He was always looking and scanning and walking with a purpose as a former law-enforcement officer I normally peep these people out immediately and you can tell those that are lazy and there just to get a paycheck or those that are really about doing their job and this guy was really about doing his job! I would always watch him walking around and looking, and it made me feel safe………. there’s not a lot of people that make me feel safe and I’m sure my friends can tell you that. The girls got thirsty so we made our way to the restaurant for drinks and we met two hostesses in the restaurant section and they both were very kind and greeted us with a warm smile. They directed us to the bar area since we were not going to get food so we ordered some drinks. The bartender lit up with such a warm and engaging smile. It was as if she was built for this….. I’ve been around a lot of bartenders in my life and you can tell that she was a person that really cared about her customers. The Coke machine needed the syrup container changed so she told me that she would bring my drink to me, I expected her to get busy and I would probably have to come back and remind her of it, but shortly afterwards I looked up and she was walking around, looking for me and came over to the table to bring me my Coke. She had the biggest smile and made me feel like it was her pleasure to bring me my drink. You don’t get that often. After the drinks the kids went back to play more games and eventually got hungry, so we made our way back to the restaurant, the same two ladies greeted us and one of them escorted us to our table, shortly after our waitress came up to take our order, She had a great smile, and when she found out that we were celebrating my daughter‘s birthday, she immediately said that she would bring over a brownie sundae, which is one of my favorite desserts, but this was for my daughter. My wife and I used to get this dessert from Applebee’s back many years ago when we were dating and when I told her that they had it at McWally‘s, (and the brownie is twice the size of Applebee’s) she immediately knew what I was thinking…. We’re gonna be going back for this! So our food came to the table and it was just as we ordered it and there were no mistakes. I had a turkey club sandwich and it was absolutely delicious, the food there is amazing! In closing and I know I’ve been long-winded, but this place is definitely an asset to the Fuquay Varina community and if you’ve been there in the past when they were just opening please go back and give them a second chance to win your approval, they have worked really hard to overcome some hurdles. I think that you’ll love it! Oh, and their outdoor area is simply amazing. They have fire pits outside that will make them cold winter nights feel like a warm summer’s breeze!
